TRENDY DEPTFORD WELCOMES FIRST TIME BUYERS

centres, such as Deptford Discovery Centre, make this the ideal place to call home.

Also, just a 20-minute train ride away is the desirable neighbourhood of Blackheath, which offers a tranquil green heath, trendy eateries and a popular market.

Away from the bustling hub of the markets and local facilities, Deptford also has plenty of idyllic green spaces dotted around, including the serene Deptford River and the biodiverse waterside haven Broomhill Park.

The contemporary apartments of No.1 Creekside are positioned just outside these natural sanctuaries and residents also have easy access to the nearby Greenwich Park and its iconic Royal Observatory. With each apartment benefiting from its own private outdoor escape, in the form of a balcony or terrace, the development provides homeowners with the metropolitan dream combined with rural retreatism.

Architecturally, the trendy warehousestyle apartments nod to the historic character of Deptford, with bronze metalwork and recessed balconies. The interior has a modern feel, featuring highspecification fixtures and fittings including an integrated Zanussi 50/50 fridge-freezer, dishwasher, freestanding washing machine and engineered hard flooring to the kitchen/living/dining area. sales.lewishamhomes.org.uk/developments/ creekside

Each primary bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and all bedrooms are carpeted, while stylish bathrooms are fully tiled with a shower bath, large mirror and chrome towel rail. The apartments are heated with a central air source heat pump system and a video entry system ensures residents feel secure at all times.

For transport, Deptford Bridge DLR station connects commuters and residents to the rest of the city and is situated just a short walk from No. 1 Creekside. The carfree development has efficient bike storage, and a complex network of pedestrian and cycle routes make Deptford an incredibly accessible and green location.

Prices start from £97,500 for 25% of £390,000 full market value for a one bedroom apartment.
